I have a question...

I'm all excited....perhaps this person who's shopping at 4 AM needs advice about the proper dosage of an herbal supplement....maybe she hasn't had a bowel movement in a week and needs some advice....maybe it's her child or her parent....

Where's the 9 count Excedrin?

Excuse me?

It's right here, in the ad, where is it?

I don't know....I'm the pharmacist.  I don't deal with inventory outside of the pharmacy.

Well, who does?

That would be the 3 front store employees that are currently at the front of the store.

Can't you go get it?

No....even if I could leave the pharmacy unattended, I wouldn't know where to look because...and this is key:  I don't stock that area!  You'll have to find a front store employee....here, I'll page one for you.

(Mutters as she walks away)

Yes, I went through 6 years of pharmacy school and earned a doctorate for this....I think of the number of times I direct someone to the bathroom or cotton balls, ring out condoms, etc every month when I write out the check for my student loan.  It's good times.
